Real-estate advisor Nick Perry says three renovations waste money before selling: replacing windows, remodeling kitchens, and upgrading bathrooms rarely increase what buyers will pay. Focus instead on disclosure, cleanliness, and keeping everything functional.
Never ever make these renovations before you sell your house because they'll cost you thousands of dollars. The first is your windows. Changing them to fancier ones barely moves the sale price. Just disclose their age, and if you're not the original owner, you can put down that it's unknown. The second is the kitchen. A kitchen is so specific to each buyer that most people won't like whatever you pick. Just get it spotless, functional, and organized. And the third is the bathrooms, for the same reason. Just make sure they're clean, waterproofed, and spacious. And if you want to learn more ways to make more money in real estate, comment mentorship and I'll reach out.
